The most comprehensive 100% free content site on the web for Walking in England and Walking on the Web. Great reports of the walks with complimentary pictures. Many popular areas covered. Lots of download routes and everything on this site is for free. This is a humorous and informative site about walking in Great Britain and in Europe. Enjoy the walks which include maps, journals, statistics, elevations and reports of the experience.

Hello and a very warm welcome to Mike Brockhurst's Walking Englishman web site. The site is dedicated to my passion for walking in the rich and varied landscape of Great Britain. I simply love walking in Britain. Getting out into the hills and dales of England and exploring is always a big thrill for me. In my walks I try to seek out interesting features and if that means leaving the beaten track then I will do so. Why not join me on my walks on these pages. After all, it's all free because my intention is to inspire you all to get out and enjoy the country as much as I do. Go on, you won't regret it.

On the site you will find lots of walks, some of them long distance journeys where I have ditched all transport, put on the back pack and set off. These can be found in the 'Long Distance Walks' categories in the left hand column. The rest of the walks are found in the 'Walks by Area' section. These are walks that can be completed in a single day. They cover distances which could take an entire day or just a few hours. They range from gentle rambles to serious hill walks. In essence there are walks for everyone to be found here.

In all my reports I tell the story as it is. Most of the time walks provide brilliant moments and I will tell you all about them. However that is not always the case and if I find a section boring I will say so. If a walk doesn't live up to expectations I will also tell you my reasons for making such an assumption. And if I ache or suffer on a walk I will tell you because I feel it is vitally important to tell the real facts about walking. Telling the facts as I see them is what my site is dedicated to. You can be assured all my walking reports are told from the heart and all I ask you to consider is that you accept the reports as my personal reflections that may not be the same as yours but that they are sincerely made. Thank you.

My Featured Websites:
Paul Horsman Landscape Photography
Paul lives close to me in Harrogate and I am lucky enough to have a copy of his Northern Heights 2009 Calendar. It is the best calendar I have ever had with stunning photographs of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. I highly recommend you pay his website a visit and take a look at his lasndscape photography for yourself.

Bill Stormont's Dales Way Gallery
Bill is a photographer from Oregon who walked the Dales Way with his wife Kathy in May 2008. The site includes day-by-day impressions of the landscapes they found on the walk. Taking a leisurely walk over ten days provided ample time to meet people, savour a cream tea or pint of John Smith's, and truly enjoy the scenery. Bill's intent was to capture the "personality" of the Dales Way which he most certainly achieved.
